For Hydrogen; |dw:1366958623370:dw| \[m_e =9.1\times10^{-31} [\text{kg}]\\q_e=1.6\times10^{-19} [\text C]\\R =5\times10^{-11} [\text m] \]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[A =\pi R^2=8\times10^{-21} [\text m^2]\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[F_\text{electric} =F_\text{centripetal} \\ \frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{mv^2}R \\ v=\sqrt\frac{e^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 Rm} =2.3\times10^6[\text m/\text s]\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[T=\frac Cv=\frac{2\pi R}v=1.4\times10^{-16}[\text s]\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[I=\frac qT=\frac{q_e}T=\frac{1.6\times10^{-19} [\text C]}{1.4\times10^{-16}[\text s]}\approx1[\text {mA}]\]
